Adobe wants to continue with Flash as a web standard and HTML5 threatens that to the nth. degree. Flash will eventually die out as HTML5 (and better) begins to take over. Flash can't do (easily, nor as compactly) what HTML5 can do. I wonder if that is why Apple is letting QuickTime die a slow death.

Not really, QT is needed for their Pro apps. I don't think HTML 5 would be a viable alternative for them. Unless they are coming out with some other video processing alternative for things like Final Cut Pro.

Quick Time should die, plus I don't think Apple puts any time into it anymore? ?

Oh I dunno, how about the fact that it's a core (built-in) part of OS X? Or that they updated to a totally new version for 10.6. Or maybe that iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Preview and a few pro apps from Apple are based on it?

On the topic of Adobe and MS: I hate to admit it, but I've been stuck running Adobe Creative Suite on Windows for over a year now at my day job... and I'll take it any day over running it on the Mac.

I run Windows 7 with only 4 GB of RAM on a Core2 Duo processor Dell and it blows my MacPro with Xeon processors and 11GB of RAM out of the water.

Quite frankly, were it not for the fact that Windows is such a clunky OS, I would switch to Windows 7 in a heartbeat. Apps themselves run so much faster and smoother. It just doesn't look as good at the OS level, and the types of apps available aren't quite as "pretty."

But I gotta say, they really are catching up. If MS would just fix Windows, it would be pretty decent. Unfortunately, Virus, Adware, Malware and stupid system files like DLL's and whatnot are what's keeping it from every being a pleasure to use like Mac OS X.

I think it's because Adobe thought Apple would go out of business.They switched loyalties to Microsoft about 10 years ago, if I recall correctly.They actually recommended Windows over Mac OS, but then The Steve came back, and they've been playing catch up ever since.

You are correctNot to mention that Adobe thought that since MS had 95% of the market.

However;Adobe got its start from the Mac platform and still is a large part of their business
